Greg Williams
Pennsylvania Director of Scouting

The Preseason All-State Showcase annually draws in excess of 100 of the top uncommitted prospects in the state. This winter's event will take place over two days at Keystone State Baseball Academy in Manheim on February 16th and 17th. 

As we draw closer to February we will be periodically highlighting some of the prospects scheduled to participate. Today we continue our preview with a look at 2021 C/OF Jack Giovenco.

Also displayed athletic actions in the outfield with accurate 75 mph arm strength to home plate.

1.28.18 - 5-foot-11, 155-pound backstop showcased pop times of 2.24-2.31 on throws of 66 mph from the crouch. Stays directional with a short arm swing, but footwork will need to be cleaned up.
